The actors of the company often work together with teachers from the USA, Russia, France, Italy, Canada and other countries and have repeatedly become laureates of prestigious international competitions. The Liaoning Ballet Company first performed in Vladivostok on the Primorsky Stage in October 2017, successfully presenting their original play The Eight Women, the winner of the highest national art award of China, the Wenhua Prize.
